2013 Saint's Draft Mock (JeanPierre)

[Updated 2013/03/14]

R1(15) Saints select LB Alec Ogletree, Georgia

R2 (45) Forfeit (OL Barrett Jones, Alabama)

R3(75) Saints select QB Tyler Wilson, Arkansas

R4(106) Saints select OT Chris Faulk, LSU

R5(137) Saints select NT TJ Barnes, Georgia Tech

R6(173) Saints select SS Cooper Taylor, Richmond

This is the schedule of players I'd draft, if available, based on where the team is on the morning of the new league year and onset of free agency...



Again (repeat) some of this could be smoke screen and some could be legitimate; but these are the guys the Saints have met with...

Don't be sca'red cher', ya'll put up your drafts...

Papz, you really got me rethinking my crush on Ogletree and got me really thinking Collins could do some positive damage for the Saints defense...

2013 NFL Mock Drafts - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

those 4 writers picks for the saints in the first round are all different

Dion Jordan, DE
Oregon
Jarvis Jones, OLB
Georgia
Barkevious Mingo, OLB
LSU
Lane Johnson, OT
Oklahoma


its crzy how some people have mingo and jordan going in the top 5 while others have them dropping all the way to us or farther

i have to believe if mingo or jordan is available that would be our pick

[lee909]

Johnson would be great,he won't be there at 15 though
